New Diamond Version 4.3.2

March 17, 2017

A minor update 4.3.2 of "Diamond", our software for crystal and molecular structure visualization, has just become available. This new version offers several bug fixes:

• Wrong site occupation factors when importing a structure from a Shelx INS or RES file.
• "Create picture automatically" may have created black H atoms in front of dark/black background.
• Sort arrow remained in table (e.g. View/Table/Table of atomic parameters) when switching to "No sorting" option in "Settings" dialog.
• Several errors in the "View/Powder Pattern" and "View/Distances and Angles" views' tables, especially no sorting property.
• In "View/Powder Pattern" view, the diffraction diagram did not reflect a change in the 2theta range, e.g. by "Settings" dialog.
• "Structure/Atomic Parameters" dialog did not pre-select the last used atom or the atom currently selected in the picture.
• Search for POV-Ray engine improved with the possibility to enter the path to "pvengine[64].exe" manually.

Diamond version 4 customers should use the online update function (menu "Help/Online update") or check the "Diamond Version 4 Update Page" for alternative update choices.
